An elementary plasma source for generating plasma is provided. In the elementary plasma source, first and second magnets are shaped like a hollow cylinder, and the second magnet surrounds the first magnet, for forming a magnetic trap between the first and second magnets. A guide provides microwaves to a space between the first and second magnets.

An electron cyclotron resonance equipment generates plasma by application of a processing gas and microwave energy into a vacuum chamber having a wafer therein in an environment of reduced pressure. The equipment includes a horn antenna assembly mounted onto an uppermost end of the vacuum chamber for radiating the microwave energy supplied from a high-frequency generator into the vacuum chamber. The horn antenna enables extension and retraction in a lengthwise direction to change a flare angle of the horn antenna. The equipment is provided with a fixed antenna and a plurality of mobile antennas to configure a horn antenna assembly, thereby enabling control of the flare angle in the horn antenna as a result of displacement of the mobile antennas. Thus, the uniformity in radiation of the microwave energy within plasma chamber can be controlled with efficiency.

A method of doping ions into an object using plasma, including providing a doping gas between a first electrode and a second electrode, where an object is disposed between the first and the second electrodes, applying a first power to the first electrode and grounding the second electrode, exciting the doping gas to a plasma state, directing ions toward the object to be doped, applying a second power to the second electrode and grounding the first electrode, and counting a dose of the ions directed toward the second electrode, and an apparatus for performing the same.
摘要:
In a method of doping ions into an object, such as a substrate, using plasma, a doping gas may be provided between first and second electrodes in a chamber. An electric field may be formed between the first and the second electrodes to excite the doping gas to a plasma state. The electric field may be formed by applying a first power having a first positive electric potential and a second power having a second positive electric potential, the second positive electric potential being higher than the first positive electric potential. The electric field may be reversed in direction by blocking the second power from being applied to the second electrode. Accumulated ions on the substrate may be effectively neutralized by introducing electrons toward the substrate so that arcing generation may be prevented.
